Three Types of People to Fire Immediately

The perfect worker

According to the text “Three Types of People to Fire Immediately”, the perfect worker is someone whom thinks outside the box, whom really don’t follow the rules and someone whom knows that failure is the first step towards success.  In today’s capitalist world everything comes down to profits and revenues. A company needs the nonbelievers and the know-it-alls so that there is a balance, of course no company or organization needs the victims in their payroll, because of the fact that they don’t contribute with anything. My personal view in this matter is that in a company’s research and development (R & D) department you should have the perfect worker as they described it in the text. But for the rest of the company you should have a mix of the perfect worker, the know-it-alls, and the nonbelievers. This because of the fact that someone needs to put the perfect worker to the ground other ways the company will go bankrupt with all the failed projects and overconfident R & D workers. Today everybody is talking about innovative companies as Google and Apple, but we don’t talk about all the failed companies which had innovative thinking as their motto, we only see the success stories and the good side of this point of view.

The managers of each department have the most important jobs in a company, because it’s their jobs to see the potential of the ideas that the workers present and exclude the ones that are impossible. So a manager should be a mixture of a perfect worker, the nonbeliever and the know-it-all, and all of these features in one person.

Story of stuff

This was a very interesting video of how we spend money on cheap goods from third nations and consume at rocket speed.

As I see it, this is the ugly backside of the capitalist society that we live in. Corporations have become so powerful that nobody (goverment) can stand in their way, they do what they want, when they want to. And somehow we accept this fact, it’s all about the money, where ever you look it’s money this and money that. How can we save money? When can we close down the production and move it to China? etc. Where does this stop? Because the greed that the leading corporates in the world is showing right now, it will have to be appocalyps to take back the power.

Something that really got to me was the fact that their was toxics in the breastmilk of mothers wich they later gave to infant babys. This fact makes you want to cry, we are supposed to be humans the most evolved beeing on the planet, yet theese things happens.

Also how the corporates wants consumers to shop as much as possible, now a days you can’t find any product that will last a lifetime. And the corporates have found ways to shorter the life-span of products by making it impossible to use it longer than what they want it to.

And last I would like to say that it’s a shame that we can’t stop the pollution of Dioxin, god forbid the ceo:s of the largest companies don’t make that extra dollar.
